Human Elongation Of Very Long Chain Fatty Acids Like Protein 1 (ELOVL1) ELISA Kit

ELOVL1 (Elongation Of Very Long Chain Fatty Acids-Like Protein 1) is a microsomal condensing enzyme that catalyzes the elongation of saturated and monounsaturated very long chain fatty acids beyond C24, supplying acyl chains for ceramide and sphingolipid biosynthesis that sustain epidermal barrier integrity. Loss-of-function variants in ELOVL1 have been linked to ichthyosis prematurity syndrome, and altered expression has been reported in studies of hepatic steatosis and certain neurological lipid-storage conditions, making the protein a relevant target for dermatology, hepatology, and neuroscience research. The Assay Genie Human ELOVL1 ELISA Kit provides a quantitative assay for measuring this target in human tissue homogenates, cell lysates, and related sample matrices. Each kit ships as a complete package containing a pre-coated microplate, lyophilized standards, biotinylated detection antibody, streptavidin-HRP conjugate, wash buffer, substrate solution, and stop reagent for one full plate run. Standard handling calls for equilibrating components to room temperature before use, refrigerating unused reagents between sessions, and shielding the chromogenic substrate from light to preserve activity; the kit is intended for in vitro research use only. Samples and reagents are processed in a standard microplate workflow, with absorbance read on a compatible plate reader; the chromogenic readout produces signal intensity proportional to ELOVL1 concentration in each well. Researchers investigating lipid metabolism, sphingolipid biosynthesis, or peroxisomal function can apply this kit to cell lysate, tissue homogenate, and cell culture supernatant samples, supporting basic and translational studies of fatty acid elongation.
